Brothers and Sisters,

ICE arrests locally have reached a new low today. Two farm workers, both of whom were injured in an explosion about two years ago, were picked up by ICE as the workers were on their way to a doctor's appointment. We are extremely concerned about the medical and psychological consequences of these arrests (the explosion itself was traumatizing enough), and we are also appalled at the racism involved when people are "driving while Latino."

Every year thousands of migrant farmworkers, many from Mexico, come to harvest crops and work on dairy farms in Upstate New York. Recently raids and random pick-ups of Latino workers by ICE and Border Patrol have frightened the workers and restricted their movement.
